43. You have also turned back the edge of his swordand have not made him stand in battle.
44. You have made his glory ceaseand cast his throne down to the ground.
45. The days of his youth You have shortened;You have covered him with shame. Selah
46. How long, O Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever?How long shall Your wrath burn like fire?
47. Remember how short my time is!Why have You made all people in such emptiness?
48. What man can live and not see death?Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah
49. Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50. Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servantsand how I bear in my heart the insults of the many nations,
51. which Your enemies taunt, O Lord,with which they mock the footsteps of Your anointed king.
52. Blessed be the Lord forever!Amen and Amen.
